   This is one of my favorite spots in North County. They were experiencing some issues with over booking, and they more than made up for the inconvenience. Their staff and customer service are top notch! The new menu was amazing too!! Plus they always have great music.

   This was our first time visiting and we knew nothing about the restaurant. We were seated quickly for our 6:00 PM reservation - it was quiet when we sat down but within 30 minutes, the place got busy. We waited longer than we should have before someone came to our table to hand us water and let us know that our server would be with us soon. Our server arrived maybe 6-8 minutes later. They explained the menu (where we learned the food is tapas style) and were asked what beverages we would like after the waiter quickly went over the bar menu. I asked for iced tea and were awkwardly told they didn't have iced tea (what?). We then proceeded to order our food as we had ample time to review our menu by this time. She ordered the japanese sweet potato and the farmers table salad with chicken and I ordered the cod. The food took some time to arrive and did so one plate at a time. The sweet potato arrived first - it was delicious but a very small portion for two. Next came the cod and bok choy. Again, very small portion, not quite what I was expecting as a main course (not to mention for the price tag). After finishing the sweet potato and nearly the entire cod dish (because at this point, we were sharing the cod), we began to think that her salad wasn't coming. Surprise, it eventually showed up with a very small skewer of grilled chicken. If it weren't for the fact that the food tasted good, this would not have been a good experience. If you're looking for a place to go for drinks at the bar and small bites with friends, you found it.

   The staff were all pleasant and very hospitable. I loved our waitress (sorry, forgot her name) the food was excellent and the manager (Joey) was super friendly and a joy to speak with. We loved all the dishes and the ambiance. We will definitely visit again.

   Would not go back, the place was freezing with the front door open and no heat, windows open and very loud environment. Food was just ok, not great and very small portions. Server was nice and drinks were decent. Overall not impressed and wont go back for the money, disappointing.

    Sago has a lot of potential. There are some big buts. Lighting is a problem! The restaurant is beautifully designed but you cannot appreciate it. The food is delicious and beautifully prepared, but, it is so dark you need a flashlight to read the menu and see what you are eating. You feel like you are eating in the jungle in the dark. Noise level is ridiculous! The music is so loud that you have to yell to be heard. Great concept, poor execution. I think if you could tone down the music to a more manageable decibel it would be bearable. And bring up the lights enough to enjoy the food and ambiance you have created you would tremendously increase the user experience.
